Albot is a small command line tool built as an attempt to help us with our Development process

albot's Issues

[Deploy][Changelog] Point the link to the right revision of the Gist

Add a command to know the status of your site

Or Github... or anything

[Server] Allows default behaviour

To detect Github PR URLs even if the name of the bot is not said

Accept Requests via HTTP

Have an option to make albot reply privately

Better design of the "fallback" system

For every command you must have a fallback argument that allows albot to override the way the messages are rendered.

It's a bit weird for new comers to put this argument in a new Command and it's easy to forget

[Changelog] Update a changelog file in the repo

Using the Git Data API, we could update a file directly in the repository and create a new commit

Generate statistics of usage

To know which command is more used and how

[Amazon] Adding CloudWatch informations

Working on error handling

Error handling is still a bit weak.

• There is no simple way not to forget any error catching in a new Command.
• Need more tests: Most of the lack of code coverage comes from the errors catching
• Work on the actual display of the errors

Order PR's by date

Most recent at the top..

Deal with the organisations with more than 100 repositories

Add some developer documentation

And put some motivation by using

Add a command to launch a Jenkins build

[Pulls] Retest a PR

Be able to disable commands via config

Make albot show new PRs

Make albot show new PR details, either by listening to the jenkins API, or looking for a particular string in Hipchat, e.g.

PR:

Add stats command

albot stats http://url/to/repo

Which would return something like..

Project start: 3rd September 2012
Total commits: 123
No. of PR's: 123
LOC: 1234
Top contributor: Ben Davies

Not sure if all of the above is available from the github API, but I imagine some stuff would be

[Pulls] Display the ID of a Pull Request

Querying should be better

Currently the querying is quite dump
You can't really mix the different possibilities and no errors are permitted

It would be nice to have an extensible system that allows the user to be more expressive

[Deploy] accept extra parameter

For server URL for example

Test for existing parameter

Since this commit: 6e8d10b

There is not need to test a parameter existence with the "_.isString" method.

Would be nice to clean the code relative to that

[Server] Allows to install as a service

Using this: https://github.com/coreybutler/node-linux

(Think about Multi project configuration)

Allows customisation of rendering via templates

Better usage of Async

The current code base could be cleaner by using more the Async library.

At least, a bit of housecleaning by reducing the functions into more little functions would be nice

[Deploy] Handle more than one command

Migrations and Cache Clear...

Or make an extensible system via config

Add a command to interact with Amazon WS

Make test method "private"

http://philipwalton.com/articles/how-to-unit-test-private-functions-in-javascript/

[Changelog] Be able to request the difference between the last two tags

Add a command to tag a repository

Add a command to get the Varnish health

[Changelog] Search filtered by content / title

[Pulls] "Need rebase" flag seems broken

[Pulls] Have a way to get all PRs that needs Rebase

Introducing a verbose mode

And more generally, a logging system via Winston

Add the ability to create commands by chaining other

[All] More "From"/"Since" tag features

[Deploy] Handle verbose mode with Capistrano
